A number of these are very short – perfect for the busyness of Christmas when time may be short – and overall they cover a wide range of genre and era, just with the theme of Christmas tying them together. It’s a very satisfying list!

(I also have rather a lot more titles sitting in various virtual shopping baskets. I simply must resist!)

Good luck with this challenge. I don’t tend to read many Christmas themed books, so I don’t think I’ll be signing up, but I’m enjoying seeing what other people are planning to read. I would be particularly interested in hearing more about the Maugham and du Maurier books.

I’ll do a brief review of all of them and a fuller review of some, Helen. I’ve started with the Maugham, which is my first foray into his work. It’s certainly not what I expected and has me intrigued at the moment.

What a nice collection! We have the family here at Christmas this year – so no time for reading (except for the days before (preparations allowing!) and after, when there will be all the time in the world to relax – and read!!! Maybe I’ll look out some Christmassy reading, but it may just be A Christmas Carol.

We have family for New Year, Margaret, and we’re away for the Christmas holiday itself, so I probably won’t get much reading done then either. But I do love the build-up with all its busyness and preparations … and reading! I can always squeeze a little in here and there 🙂
